to wishbone or not to wishbone

[Twainturbo]

can anyone tell me the type of suspension setup foci have, is it mcphearson strut like every other POS FWD american car, or did ford do something right and use a double wishbone or some other race proven design. please say the former

here is some info i dug up on the focus suspension setup:

In their search for a closer approach to the ideal solution, they elected to go with an independent rear suspension design. Called the ‘Control Blade’ multi-link suspension, this is evolved from the design used on the Mondeo, but uses a simple, one-piece pressed-steel control arm in place of the Mondeo’s separate trailing arm and cast knuckle. Cheaper to make and geometrically more accurate, this design incorporates passive rear steer for stability. Its mount decoupling provides better isolation from road induced noise and vibrations and the bushings have been tuned to match lateral stiffness to the MacPherson strut front suspension so that the front and rear suspensions exhibit similar reaction times to a given steering input. Another plus of this rear suspension design is minimal intrusion into the large and regular shaped boot.
